Down to Earth : Mahallah Asiah

On 26 July 2010, Welfare Secretariat of Students’ Representative Council (SRC) 2009/2010 has organized Down to Earth (DTE) to Mahallah Asiah in collaboration with other secretariats of Students’ Representative Council (SRC) 2009/2010. This DTE session was the first DTE for academic year 2010/2011. First and foremost, the purpose of this session is to collect data regarding welfare issues at this mahallah by conducting a survey to every room in every block in Mahallah Asiah. By conducting this survey, we can see that there are many complaints and suggestions which need to be highlighted and to be taken into actions from the administration.

For instance:
1. Many students were dissatisfied with the price of foods which for them were expensive and unaffordable.2. Other than that, many students complaints about wireless connection which was so slow
3. Many students reported on problems regarding pre-registration (add and drop session)
4. A lot of complaints redarding inadequacy of bus services which cannot accommodate a large number of students.

Despite complaints, many students also make suggestions. They suggested:

1. The administration should provide rooftop along the walkway from Mahallah Asiah to other mahallahs which for them is necessary due to the weather.
2. Besides, they also suggested that the respective authority should offer more sections for students who were unable to add their subjects
3. The administration also should upgrade the wireless connection for the benefit each and every students here.
